Song for F. Scott

from Summer Vacation by Like Lions

/

lyrics

You counted your clout like a stock,
all wrapped up in who’s hot.
It’s keeping your stomach in knots,
somebody always has more than you got.

You wanted mansions
You wanted the cars, you wanted gold
What era did we land in?
We made it in time for Gatsby’s toast.

Fireworks and champagne flutes,
button down shirts, here all for you.
The cavalcade was quite a sight,
singing on through twilight.
I want it all, it’s not enough,
whatever’s left is all for us.
The promenade is looking rough
I guess all them don’t measure up.

The game is rigged from the top,
you’re either in or you’re not.
You keep on gunnin’ for that spot,
but in the end you’re always feeling lost.

You wanted attention.
You wanted your name up in the lights.
What era’d we land in?
We’re all just here on Gatsby’s time.
